BEIJING: Forensic expert Liu Liang has been trying to save patients infected with the novel coronavirus by studying corpses.

Liu, a professor in forensic medicine and pathology at Tongji Medical College in Wuhan, Hubei province, is the first doctor in the world to have completed an autopsy of a Covid-19 patient.

“These discoveries can provide useful clues for more effective and precise diagnosis and treatment of patients,” he said. Delays caused by various issues, including a lack of a proper site as well as a lack of donors, prevented Liu from conducting autopsies until Feb 16. After conducting autopsies on nine bodies, Liu and his colleagues raced against time to do research at labs, and he was glad to find the results were quickly added to the latest guidelines for Covid-19 diagnosis and treatment released by the National Health Commission earlier this month so that his discoveries could be shared worldwide to aid in the clinical treatment of patients.
